...Japanese immigrants were still welcome in Paraguay last week. A shipload of them arrived in Asunsion on their way to dig cotton plantations out of the forests of Eastern Paraguay not far from a similar settlement of White Russians.

Russia had refused to renew the Japanese leases because she felt that with the yen off gold...
With dawn the fire had feasted fully on Hakodate. The bodies of the drowned were coming in with the morning tide, nudging the wharves. Blackened, blank-faced men groped over the steaming ruins. A sharp sleet was falling. Soon it turned to snow. The survivors huddled in barracks on the peaks, in a few schools still standing, in the railway station and the British and Russian consulates.

The House did not accept the Senate bill but it thoroughly upset the Administration program by voting $91,700,000 extra for veterans' pensions and $130.000.000 extra for Federal pay. Representatives grew so rambunctious that they were ready to take on the Senate as well as the President. Among...
...spared to get a pair of specially designed shells. Thinking the new shells too slim, coaches ordered another one, said they must have it in four days, got it. It was decided the crew was to take a night spin to get the feel of the water at flood tide. Precedent was broken when they went up to the course at Putney a week earlier than usual, a week ahead of Cambridge. Then bad luck began to break. Snow and biting cold set in. No. 7 poisoned his finger. No. 6 came down with influenza. A new man was seated...
